title: [HLA and associated diseases--progress in molecular biology].
abstract: HLA genes and their products are of central importance for the development of autoimmune diseases. HLA antigens influence the immune repertoire of T cells and therefore all immune responses are HLA dependent. Research in molecular genetics have helped to identify both HLA genes and specific T cell clones involved in autoimmune reactions, which create possibilities of immune intervention.
